Welcome. A veteran player of the 40K hobby from the Games Workshop.Not satisfied with standard "straight out of the box/blister" models; I like to "Konvert" to put my own interpretation or vision of how I want my figures to look. Often to project the "fluff" or for WYSIWIG. Some model ranges have a very limited variation or expression .... I like to introduce a change (Sisters of Battle). Some have an unlimited scope for variation (Orks).

"Please form an orderly queue, a gamer will be with you shortly"

Backlogs!
We all have them (unless you are superhuman or organised).


As a small break from the Stompa, I thought that I would dig out the mob of Stormboyz & Zagstruk that has been sitting in my "To Do Box".

Now, I haven't fielded Stormboyz since 3rd Edition 40K, and I had got rid of the originals a long time ago. Then came the last Codex;  Zagstruk and  a larger mob size.

So I started picked odds 'n ends of e-bay as cheaply as possibly (hence the mixture and conditions). I picked up Zagstruk a few months ago but still not done anything with them.

Well; No longer! Ahhh Haah!

Unfortunately I also came across a couple more "To Do" items for the Orks (note: I am not mentioning the other races at the moment).

In order to kickstart myself, I'm going to post up here to remind me and hopefully embarass myself to get them done (I have the time at the moment).

For "Cashier Number One":  The Stormboyz & Zagstruk

"Cashier Number Two": The Nobz Biker Mob Painboy

An Eldar Warwalker build konversion that is still at the basecoated and drybrushed stage (If I stall..... then this is where it usually happens).


Doh! I forgot ... no photo yet, but there is also Wazdakka Gutzmek (the Mk VI version), to finish off. I have just upgraded him with the Warboss from AoBR and a little work on "the bike of the Aporkalypse".

"Cashier Number Three": Da Lawnmowa

This has been stalled for about 3 months now; I had the Battlewagon upgrade sprue, but no battlewagon at the time (Hey .... it was shiny!). A rummage around the bitz box and I found almost enough bits for a Deffdredd, providing that I "count as" the Deffrolla as 2x DCCW.
The idea of the clanking monstrosity pushing the rolla like a lawn mower was too much to resist. Although I did have to do some playing around with fitting it. The brackets were extended with Styrene Rods that allow it to be removed (careful sizing and a little "play" in the roller arms), as well as vertical rotation.
Heh heh .... Bam, bam!

Cashier Number Four: Battlewagon
A straightforward one this, it just needs painting (red of course!).
Cashier Number Five: A Meganobz Mob
I managed to pick 3 up for only £10 ........ the others were included in other bundles I got; so with one other that I already had, here is my bodyguard for Ghazkhul Mag Uruk Thraka in an Apocalypse game.
Well that is just a small blather of what is on my mind at the moment, and it seems to be all Green.

Time to get on with the first in the queue; "Deff from Above!!"

About Me

My photo
A modeller, gamer, painter; in order of preference (and more like skill as well). I usually have a huge backlog of figures and projects to get done. More often than not, I will have something waiting around for years, until "The Muse" takes hold and obsession takes over. This is then usually completed; ocassional projects do stall and are left at the basecoat and metal drybrushed stage (until I can get the drive for the detail painting). Armies i currently run are WH40K only: Orks (lots & lots & lots) Blood Angels (lots & lots) Witch Hunters (lots of Sisters of Battle) Iron Fists Space Marines (developing at approx 2000pts).
